I have an acer aspire 5735z. I left it online one night and in the a.m. it started 'misbehaving'. I press the power up button and it begins to boot - but never shows the screen and then shuts down. A few seconds later it tries to start up again and then shuts down without the screen even coming up. I've tried rebooting after taking out battery and then disconnecting a/c - no luck. Can anyone tell me what is going on and/or help. Thanks so much for any input!
